Artisan Metalwork Chandelier, New Hope School Artist, Arts and Crafts Movement
circa 1920

About the Item

Part of the Pennsylvania School, impressionists who painted in Bucks County, Pennsylvania, Morgan Colt had joined the group in 1912. Along with Edward Redfield, Daniel Garber, Robert Spencer, Charles Rosen, William Lathrop and Rae Sloan Bredin, they eschewed modernism and exhibited together, calling themselves the New Hope Group. However Colt was better known for crafts than for painting, but he did exhibit paintings with the New Hope Group in 1916 and 1917 at the Cincinnati Art Museum, Detroit Art Institute, Corcoran Gallery, the Carnegie Institute and the Arlington Gallery in New York City. By 1929, many of these artists plus others exhibited together, calling themselves the New Hope Art Colony, but Colt died before their first exhibition, which was in May 1929. Colt's background was in architecture, which he had studied at Columbia University. It was said that among his peers of the Pennsylvania painters, he made more of a contribution as a craftsman than as a painter. He was born in Summit, New Jersey. When Colt and his wife moved to Bucks County, they purchased the studio of William Lathrop, which Colt transformed it into a distinguished Tudor residence by the Delaware River. In 1919, he added more buildings and the establishment became known as the Gothic Shops. There he exhibited furniture and metalwork, something he was particularly known for and which earned him a noted association with the Arts and Crafts Movement in America in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. His specialty was metal home and garden furniture and fire screens with emphasis on hand-wrought iron. Because Colt was more of a craftsman than a painter, he has not received the attention he deserved. One of the best sources of information about his work is an article by Jesse Martin Breese, published in Country Life Magazine, February 1926, and titled "Morgan Colt: Craftsman Extraordinary".
